Warning orders
The Canadian Forces - arguably more conservative in some respects than their American cousins - have taken an admirable leap of faith and approved an embedded blogger to go to Afghanistan. They could not have made a better choice than Damian from The Torch.
This is a first for a Canadian blogger. A fairly narrow first, but a first nonetheless: bloggers have served, but not really written about it; American bloggers have embedded with Canadian troops; Canadian bloggers have gone over unilaterally. But to the best of my knowledge, a Canadian blogger has never before been invited on a CF-sponsored visit.
While the CF is sponsoring the visit, Damian is still out of pocket for expenses. Follow the link and hit the tip jar if you can.
